Melancon Levingston Funeral Home - NederlandJaycee Christine Sanchez, born on November 6, 1979, in Port Arthur, Texas, was a beloved homemaker and a cherished member of her community. She departed this world on January 10, 2026, at the Medical Center of Southeast Texas, leaving behind a legacy of kindness and love that touched all who knew her.
As a kind person always thinking of others, Jaycee's warm spirit and compassion were evident in both her familial and social circles. She was a devoted wife to her husband of ten years, Esteban Sanchez, with whom she shared a profound bond that became the cornerstone of her life. Together, they cultivated a household filled with love and unforgettable memories.
Jaycee was the proud mother of two wonderful children, Gage Allen of Port Neches, Texas, and Hannah Allen of Groves, Texas. She was dedicated to nurturing and supporting her children, imparting upon them her values of kindness and thoughtfulness that they will carry forward into their lives.
Her family connections extended beyond her immediate household. Jaycee is survived by her father, Charles Schroeder of Crystal Beach, Texas, who was an important figure in her life, as well as her sister, Annie Lovette, and her husband Matthew of Seabrook, Texas. Additionally, she leaves behind her brother, Eric Schroeder, and his wife Katie of Groves, Texas, alongside numerous nieces and nephews who were fortunate to know her caring heart.
Jaycee's faith was a significant part of her existence, as she was a devoted member of the First United Methodist Church in Groves, where she found community and spiritual fulfillment. Her interests included a passion for Coca-Cola memorabilia, which reflected her vibrant personality and unique flair.
Jaycee was preceded in death by her beloved mother, Jeannie Schroeder. Her absence is deeply felt by her family and friends, who are left to cherish their memories of her laughter, warmth, and unwavering love.
A Celebration of Life for Jaycee will be held on at 11:30 a.m., on February 14, 2026, at the Frist United Methodist Church, 6501 Washington, Groves, Texas.
Jaycee Christine Sanchez leaves behind not just a family but a legacy of kindness that will resonate through the hearts of many. She will be profoundly missed and lovingly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
In lieu of flowers, the family request donations be made in memory of Jaycee to First United Methodist Church of Groves.
